My Gainward RTX 5070 Ti Snow Step OC 2.0 keeps dipping in frequency during forest loads, how to fix?

Those micro-stutters in the dense woods completely killed the immersion for me. Looking at the logs, the Gainward RTX 5070 Ti Snow Step OC 2.0 was bouncing between 2100MHz and 2450MHz while rendering complex lighting, which is a classic sign of hitting the default power wall. I tried lowering the resolution first, but the image became so grainy it was unbearable—I wasn't about to compromise on visuals. I used MSI Afterburner to bump the power limit from 100% to 115% and aggressively tweaked the fan curve so it hits 70% speed as soon as it touches 60℃. In real-time monitoring, the core clock finally locked in at 2520MHz - 2580MHz, and the frame time variance shrank from a messy 14ms - 28ms down to a tight 9ms - 12ms. It wasn't a smooth ride; I actually got two instant black screens when I first pushed the power, but adding a +0.025V voltage offset fixed the instability. Core temps stayed between 68℃ - 74℃, pushing the heat pipes to their limit. A 3DMark loop confirmed no more throttling, with memory temps holding at 58℃ - 63℃.
